Evaluation of Physiological Quality of Seeds of Improved Snap Bean Lines under Different Storage

Seed quality is a key factor to succeed in a yield generation and storage is an important activity to control the physiological seed quality, as it preserves seed viability while maintaining its robustness at a reasonable level between planting and harvest. On this basis, the goal of this study was to evaluate the physiological quality of snap bean seeds stored in different types of packages and storage conditions. Eight genotypes comprising six lines and two controls were analyzed. It was applied a completely randomized block design with four replicates in a factorial scheme (8×2×2×7).Seed storage was performed in permeable and impermeable packages under controlled and uncontrolled conditions. The physiological seed quality was evaluated by means of germination and vigor tests. The different types of package and storage conditions influenced the physiological seed quality. Under controlled storage conditions, the permeable and impermeable packages were more efficient in controlling the physiological quality of snap bean seeds.
